If Psychology Never Existed.

How do you think a world without psychology would be?

We, homo sapiens have a mind that is considered to be the most complicated thing that exists in the entire universe at present. The rules that govern it, are mysterious and it is possibly believed that our mind cannot really understand itself.

When we talk about psychology, then we define it as “the study of one’s soul”. This definition has undergone various modifications , which leads it now to be known as, “the scientific study of human mind and behavior”. Aristotle was the one who coined the term human consciousness and believed it to be a part of human heart and not human brain , which was proven to be wrong, later.  Apart from what the main definition of psychology highlights, it has various other practical applications in areas such as advice, mental health and relationships. People seek interventions in the form of psychological counseling , guidance, psychotherapy, and help with substance abuse, spouse, or family problems. This is a science that includes basics of genetics or astrophysics.

Now returning to the question “how do you think a world without psychology would be” can be answered by realizing that without psychology; processes of human mind, body and personality development would have been null. Processes of learning, sensation, perception, cognition and why one thinks or acts the way he/she does could have never been understood and life would be extremely chaotic. 

No, psychology is not only about mental illness or its cure and prevention but way beyond that. It paves way to a successful, happy and healthy life.

You know too much psychology

when you can't get mad because you understand everyone's reasons for doing everything.
